The minimal set of Shannon-type inequalities (referred to as elemental inequalities), plays a central role in determining whether a given inequality is Shannon-type. Often, there arises a situation where one needs to check whether a given…
We prove that, unless assuming additional set theoretical axioms, there are no reflexive space without unconditional sequences of density the continuum. We give for every integer $n$ there are normalized weakly-null sequences of length…
High dimensional central limit theorems (the CLTs) have been extensively studied in recent years under a variety of sufficient moment conditions connecting the dimension growth rate with the tail decay rate. In this article, we investigate…
We consider closure properties in the class of positively decreasing distributions. Our results stem from different types of dependence, but each type belongs in the family of asymptotically independent dependence structure. Namely we…
Simple cardinality refers to counting nonzero elements of an independent variable satisfying certain properties. Composite cardinality is a simple counting process composited with an affine mapping, and is therefore more complicated than…
In this paper we give sufficient conditions guaranteeing the validity of the well-known minimax theorem for the lower Snell envelope with respect to a family of absolutely continuous probability measures. Such minimax results play an…
An ordered structure is called o-minimalistic if it has all the first-order features of an o-minimal structure. We propose a theory, DCTC (Definable Completeness/Type Completeness), that describes many properties of o-minimalistic…
Consider the Coulomb potential $-\mu\ast|x|^{-1}$ generated by a non-negative finite measure $\mu$. It is well known that the lowest eigenvalue of the corresponding Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta/2-\mu\ast|x|^{-1}$ is minimized, at fixed…
The present contribution derives an explicit expression for (a version of) every uni- and multi-variate conditional distribution (i.e., Markov kernel) of Archimedean copulas and uses this representation to generalize a recently established…
Recently, a new local optimality concept for minimax problems, termed calm local minimax points, has been introduced. In this paper, we extend this concept to a general class of nonsmooth, nonconvex nonconcave minimax problems with coupled…
The present work was primarily motivated by our findings in the literature of some flaws within the proof of the second-order Legendre necessary optimality condition for fractional calculus of variations problems. Therefore we were eager to…
Fix a positive integer $N$. Select an additive composition $\xi$ of $N$ uniformly out of $2^{N-1}$ possibilities. The interplay between the number of parts in $\xi$ and the maximum part in $\xi$ is our focus. It is not surprising that…
Order statistics theory is applied in this paper to probabilistic robust control theory to compute the minimum sample size needed to come up with a reliable estimate of an uncertain quantity under continuity assumption of the related…
Composite basis functions for pyramidal elements on the spaces $H^1(\Omega)$, $H(\mathrm{curl},\Omega)$, $H(\mathrm{div},\Omega)$ and $L^2(\Omega)$ are presented. In particular, we construct the lowest-order composite pyramidal elements and…
We use the core model for sequences of measures to prove a new lower bound for the consistency strength of the failure of the SCH: THEOREM (i) If there is a singular strong limit cardinal $\kappa$ such that $2^\kappa > kappa^+$ then there…
Copula modelling has in the past decade become a standard tool in many areas of applied statistics. However, a largely neglected aspect concerns the design of related experiments. Particularly the issue of whether the estimation of copula…
An important measure of bipartite entanglement is the entanglement of formation, which is defined as the minimum average pure state entanglement of all decompositions realizing a given state. A decomposition which achieves this minimum is…
In this paper, by establishing a Borel-Cantelli lemma for a capacity which is not necessarily continuous, and a link between a sequence of independent random variables under the sub-linear expectation and a sequence of independent random…
We consider the classical Mindlin-Eringen linear micromorphic model with a new strictly weaker set of displacement boundary conditions. The new consistent coupling condition aims at minimizing spurious influences from arbitrary boundary…
This paper deals with necessary and sufficient conditions for weak and strong minimizers of functionals $\Phi(u)=\int_a^b f(x,u(x),u'(x))\,dx$, where $u\in C^1([a,b],{\mathbb R}^N)$. We first derive conditions which are simpler than the…
